Andre De Shields, you ARE a god, and a performer and human being of the highest order. Thank you for shining your light for us all.

I can't tell you how impressed I was by this number in person. André literally came across like a God.

I love how everyone is just having a great time here! Especially Andre, Eva and the xylophone guy in the background xD

[@danielaortiz9178]

I was about to turn off the computer and go to bed- this made me so happy to see!

[@runicreborn3529]

I recently saw a comment that said "Reeve Carney dresses like a 5yr old let loose in a thrift store" and it could not be closer to the truth

[@patrickloia5341]

This is the video that introduced me to Hadestown! I saw it and I recognized the voice of The Wiz. I went down a rabbit hole coming out on the other end in love with the musical and the cast! Thank you!

Road To Hell Lyrics: [HERMES] Mmm... [Chorus] Mmm... [HERMES] Mmhm... [Chorus] Mmhm... [HERMES] Chugga chugga chugga chugga Chugga chugga chugga chugga [HERMES and Chorus] Chugga chugga chugga chugga Chugga chugga chugga chugga [HERMES] Once upon a time there was a railroad line Don't ask where, brother, don't ask when It was the road to Hell, it was hard times It was a world of gods...and men! It's an old song [Chorus] It's an old song! [HERMES] It's an old tale from way back when It's an old song [Chorus] It's an old song! [HERMES] And we're gonna sing it again (spoken) Gods and men, a'ight? We got some gods in the house tonight! (sung) See, on the road to Hell there was a railroad line And there were three old women all dressed the same And they was always singin' in the back of your mind Everybody meet the Fates! (Applause, FATES bow) [HERMES] And on the road to Hell there was a railroad line And a lady steppin' off a train With a suitcase full of summertime Persephone, by name! (Applause, PERSEPHONE bows) And if you ride that train [Chorus] Ride that train [HERMES] If you ride that train [Chorus] Ride that train [HERMES] If you ride that train to the end of the line Where the sun don't shine and it's always shady It's there you'll find the king of the mine Almighty Mr. Hades! (Applause, HADES bows) [HERMES, spoken] We got any other gods? Oh, right, almost forgot... (sung) On the road to Hell there was a railroad station And a man with feathers on his feet Who could help you to your final destination Mr. Hermes, that's me! (Applause, HERMES bows) [HERMES] See, someone's got to tell the tale Whether or not it turns out well Maybe it will turn out this time On the road to Hell On the railroad line It's a sad song [Chorus] It's a sad song! [HERMES] It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy It's a sad song [Chorus] It's a sad song! [HERMES] We're gonna sing it anyway (spoken) Now, not everyone gets to be a god And don't forget that times are hard Hard times in the world of men Let me introduce you to a few of them You can tip your hats and your wallets Brothers and sisters, boys and girls To the hardest working Chorus In the gods' almighty world! (Applause, CHORUS bows) [HERMES, spoken] And workin' just as hard for you Let's see what this crew can do! (HERMES introduces the band. Band break.) [HERMES] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (COMPANY applauds) [HERMES] A'ight! A'ight! On the road to Hell there was a railroad line And a poor boy workin' on a song [ORPHEUS] La la la la la la... [HERMES] His mama was a friend of mine And this boy was a muse's son On the railroad line on the road to Hell You might say the boy was touched [ORPHEUS] La la la la la la... [HERMES] Cause he was touched by the gods themselves! Give it up for Orpheus! (Applause, ORPHEUS misses the cue) [HERMES] Orpheus! (ORPHEUS bows) [HERMES] There was one more soul on this road Girl, come on in from the cold! On the railroad line on the road to Hell There was a young girl looking for something to eat! And brother, thus begins the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice! (Applause) It's a love song [Chorus] It's a love song! [HERMES] It's a tale of a love from long ago It's a sad song [Chorus] It's a sad song! [HERMES] But we're gonna sing it even so It's an old song [Chorus] It's an old song! [HERMES] It's an old tale from way back when And we're gonna sing [HERMES and Chorus] We're gonna sing We're gonna sing it again! [HERMES] Again! Again!

[@TheatreGreaser]

[@Caine7ify]

Yeah man! Hot stuff!

[@QuikVidGuy]

[@leonh.kalayjian6556]

Love this song but wonder why they choose this when the cast isn't there.

[@michan8093]

they wanted to have fun and they did... that´s all I guess

[@olivercorrigan9169]

I think they sang other songs from the musical as well
